How does the D5 compare with the Himiway Zebra?

The D5 is the Zebra's successor and keeps the 750W motor, 48V 20Ah battery and fat tires. It adds a torque sensor and a thicker frame rated to 400 lbs, so pedaling feels more natural and it carries more weight.

Is the D5 good for commuting?

Yes for longer or mixed-surface commutes, thanks to the range and hydraulic brakes. It is heavy at 79 lbs, so carrying it up stairs or onto a train is a chore.

What is the range per charge?

Himiway rates it at roughly 60 to 80 miles per charge. Real range drops with throttle use, hills, rider weight and cold weather.

Can it handle sand and snow?

The 26x4-inch Kenda fat tires and 86Nm motor are built for loose surfaces like sand, gravel and snow. Traction is good, but deep loose sand still takes effort.

Does it have a throttle?

The D5 is a Class 3-capable e-bike with pedal assist to 20+ MPH and a throttle. Check your local rules, since throttle e-bikes are restricted in some areas.

What is included with the bike?

The bike ships with the battery, charger and pedals. A rear rack and fenders are common on this model; confirm the exact accessories with the seller.
